Rum + Reggae Show ft. Levi Roots

A reggae night in London led by Levi Roots, the Jamaican-British musician, celebrity chef and television personality, staged at the Fox & Firkin in Lewisham with a focus on roots music and reggae history.

Rum + Reggae Show ft. Levi Roots is a reggae night headlined by Levi Roots, a Jamaican-British musician, celebrity chef and television personality active since 1982, who also works as a businessman, author and radio presenter. Roots is credited with introducing his reggae sauce to a wider audience through his appearance on BBC's Dragons'Den, and the night marks two decades since that appearance.

The programme is built on strictly cultural music and heavy bass lines, drawing on UK sound systems such as Sir Coxsone Outernational and the Mighty Jah Shaka. It also pays tribute to Jamaica's recording engineers and studios, including King Tubby, Scientist and Lee Scratch Perry, so the evening is oriented towards the history of reggae. The event is presented by Cecil Reuben.

The Fox & Firkin is a concert and performance venue on Lewisham High Street in south-east London. Free reggae sauces are offered to early arrivals, and the night is aimed at listeners who want to hear roots reggae in a live setting.
